emo on BROILER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 698,552,- dated`Apri1 29, IQOQ.

` Application filed March 8, 1900. Serial No. 75837. (No model.)

meat may be grilled on Primus stoves or any stoves using gas or oil, as Well as upon an ordinary fire of wood, coal, or other fuel. The objects are to prevent the fat and gravy from the meat falling upon the wick or burner of the stove and either clogging it or extinguishing the ilame,while on ordinary ires the meat is kept from` actual contact with the iiame and all the advantage of grilling meat is secured without having the avor of it tainted by the fumes of ,the fuel which may be used. These objects are attained by a pan or tray made of sheet or other metal with the edges pressed up all around about threequarters of an inch or more, which forms a reservoir for the fat or juices of the meat.

In one corner of the pan or tray is a lip by which the fat may be poured od from time Above this tray to time as it accumulates. at about three-quarters of an inch or more is placed a wire grid or broiler. `This grid or broiler is made so that two pins projecting from the sides of it are made to slip into two beveled slots which are either cut or pressed into the sides of the pan or tray, while on` the front ofthe grid or broiler is a hook whichhooks onto one of Vthe wires of the handle of the grid or broiler and keeps it iirmly attached to the pan or tray. The pan or tray is also supplied with a handle, so that, if necessary, the hook can be dispensed with and the cook can hold the handles of the pan and grid together. The contrivance of the hook when used is for expeditiously removing the grid or broiler from the pan or tray for cleaning or other purposes. 'i

In the accompanying drawings,-Fgure lis a plan of my grid or broiler. Fig. 2 is a section of same at the line marked A B on Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a section at C D of the back end of same, showing the bevel into which the projecting pins of the grid or broiler slip', Fig. 4 is a section at E F of the front portion of the same, showing the hook to keep the grid orrbroiler in its place.

N is the tray or pan.

K is the grid or broiler.

L is the handle of the grid or broiler.

I is the handle of the tray or pan.

M represents the projecting pins on the grid or broiler.

G shows one of the beveled slots on either side of the pan or tray.

H is the hook which fastens the grid or broiler to the tray or pan, and J is the lip of the pan or trayby which the fat and drippings are run oil".

When meatis required to be grilled, the grid or broiler is fixed to the tray or pan, as above described, and placed over the re or flame, and heat is communicated to the pan or tray, which heat in turn by radiation from the pan or tray reaches the meat and cooks it as desired, the fat and juices of the meat falling into the tray or pan, to be removed as required, and being prevented from dropping onto the flame' or fire, while the pan or tray effectually prevents themeat from being tainted with the fumes of the gas, oil, or other `fuel which may be used. Should it be nec;

essary to remove the grid or broiler, the hook lis thrown back and the grid or broiler is re;

leased and lifted out of the slots.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to `secure by Letters' Patent, is

A broiler comprising a grid having a handle and havingextensions, from its body to form rests, a receptacle to be placed below the grid and having recesses to receive the said extensions, andhaving a handle, the two handles being so placed as to be in substantial alinement when the members are assem-I bled, and means for holding the members in their assembled relation.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses.
